Brand: Adrian Steel

Model: PARMM

Type: User manual

Adrian Steel PARMM is a composite partition designed for Mercedes Metris vans, providing a semi-sealed separation between the cab and cargo areas. Its full perimeter bulb seal effectively reduces airflow and noise transfer, enhancing climate control in the cab. The partition allows for the addition of accessories like fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and tool hooks, using the included fastener kit. Installation requires drilling and the use of specialized tools, and it's crucial to follow the instructions carefully and maintain proper torque on fasteners.
